If competitive gaming is your top priority and you're looking for a cost-effective option, the Dell AW2524H with its high refresh rate could greatly enhance your in-game reflexes and response times, although it may not provide as sharp and detailed a picture due to its lower screen resolution and size. On the other hand, if you're willing to invest more for a larger screen, higher resolution, superior contrast, and vivid colors for a mix of gaming, media consumption, and creative work like photo editing, the LG 27GR95QL would deliver a more immersive experience but won't be as responsive as the Dell when it comes to fast-paced competitive gaming.
